Convert NBF to CVF

Understanding nbf and cvf file formats

NBF files are backup files created by Nokia PC Suite, a software used for managing Nokia mobile phones. These files typically contain phone data such as contacts, messages, and settings, stored in a proprietary format. CVF files, on the other hand, are Cardfile files used by older Windows operating systems to store digital index cards, often for notes or contact information.

Why convert nbf to cvf?

Converting NBF to CVF may be necessary if you want to transfer contact or note data from a Nokia backup to a format compatible with legacy Windows Cardfile applications. This can be useful for data migration or archival purposes.

How to convert nbf to cvf

There is no direct converter for NBF to CVF due to their proprietary and outdated nature. However, you can follow these steps:

1. Use Nokia PC Suite to restore or extract the contents of the NBF file.
2. Export the desired data (such as contacts or notes) to a common format like CSV or TXT using Nokia PC Suite's File → Export options.
3. Use a Cardfile-compatible application, such as AZZ Cardfile or WinCardfile, to import the exported data and save it as a CVF file.

Recommended software for conversion

• Nokia PC Suite – for extracting and exporting data from NBF files.

While there is no one-click solution, this manual process ensures your data is preserved and accessible in the desired format.
